I feel the 5th day test and back in the hotel will put a lot of people off, were better off leaving it as it was!

 

And the expensive covid insurance of 50k will also put people off.

No they don’t whinge because they don’t use idiotic words like sheeple, straight out of the conspiracy theorists bible.

Upon looking at the word  BULLISH, I realized that with a little rearrangement of the letters  and adding T for Thailand it spells BULLSHI *    .

Surprising how many people do not have ANY sense of humor/sarcasm.

Get rid of the quarantines and the insurance and you might be on to something, Marisa.

Omicron is now ripping through NZ, it's peaked in the UK, USA, SA, and Australia, Boris has now called it an endemic, no testing no tracer apps in many countries as everyone is going to get it and its providing very strong natural immunity, so it's going to be all over in a few months, open up as it's not stoppable, look after the elderly, it's an endemic now and is proving to be less harmful than the flue.

Think that's Thailand's problem, they haven't looked after the elderly, concentrated on vaccinating the young and fit and those connected with tourism Sandbox.

I am ready to return next month  if they offer no worse than the previous Test and Go program.  The second PCR test and quarantine is silly and is totally killing it for me.  Omicron is not to be feared as it is displacing the much more dangerous Delta.  As everyone will get this eventually, vaccine or no, just open up and let's try to save the world economy.

Everyone will get it , yes . Sooner or later you will get it . Vaccinated makes the symptoms less .

The world economy is doing fine , in fact it is doing fabulous .  Tourism , nightlife and social industry are suffering , but economy is better then ever before .

The "Asian" I'm married to hates them.

You would think women would dislike then as they might spoil make-up. But I still see them being well worn by the Thai people around....

To consider Hua Hin the Riviera you really need to have a vivid imagination!

I agree.  Pattaya is actually the RIviera.
